Snatch - 8/10
Classic.
Classic.
I watched Passengers the other night. 6/10 I guess. Considering there's been some pretty good space/sci-fi films out the past year or so I had high hopes, but it really wasn't anything remarkable at all. Felt like it was ticking a lot of boxes (romance, comedy, action, peril) without any real purpose to the story line.
Hell or High Water
Modern western set in West Texas with themes of consumer debt crisis, out of control banks and US gun culture. Some great comic relief in there, and plenty of food for thought.
8/10.
Really liked this, Ben Foster being Ben Foster. Wasn't sure about him in his earlier roles (Punisher), but he is a great actor.

The older brother didn't need to hit the old guy in the fcae in the bank. From that point on I couldn't give two hoots about the characters.
I watched this yesterday evening and wasn't really that impressed. Visually nice to look at but that was about it. The last act was laughable as the reactor ripped through most of the ship that kept it safe and it managed to stay intact for another 80 odd years. I don't think so. Jennipout was just doing her usual pouty self but I do have to admit that swimming costume hell yeah. Other than that not much to write home about. Did they not have any kids and grandkids during their travels. if I missed that then oh well.
True, the older brother was a psycho as evidenced by his rampage at the end. I took that to be an attempt to explain the outlaws of the old wild west - these guys were often not Robin Hood type, lovable rogue characters as portrayed by Hollywood, they were greedy and violent and not very nice people. Then you have the opposite of the outlaw - the law, which no-one had a good word to say about, which allows the bank to do as it did, and yet everyone stood by it in the end - the Texas rangers, the have-a-go heroes. Just my two penneth
So i just watched baywatch with my wife (efron fan) and despite the hanging it has received by critics i enjoyed it. I expected it to be all out cheese and it was, so i was not disappointed.
Go in expecting plot and great lines 1/10, but as a good colourful laugh yeah 6.5/10 for me.
John Wick 2 brilliant and there's so going to be a third.
Its going to be like fast and furious and never ending.
Would rather clap my hands full of **** than watch tat like that....Life is toooooooooooooooooooooooooooo short amigo.
